You can't polish a turd............

That one little phrase is one of the funniest things I heard yesterday at a class and I think one of the funniest things I have ever heard!!! I attended The Photographer's One Day Workshop by Karen Russell yesterday and wow is really all I can say. The class was really really REALLY a great one. It was a long day but I came home with my brain spinning. It is spinning a little out of control right now, but I am hoping that I can start to piece together everything Karen taught us yesterday to make my photos better. It really was a whirlwind of information! My goal is to learn to shoot WITHOUT being on the green box!!!



If you get a chance to take this class, please do so, it is so informative and really a lot of fun. Karen Russell was a great teacher and I would love to take more classes with her if she ever gets back into my neck of the woods. Seriously, she taught me about buttons on my camera that I honestly thought were there for decoration, lol.

Oh how fun! I would love to take a class with her too.
I always seem to also go back to the "green box" I'm so afraid I'll miss the shot. I gotta be brave!
